Chapter 946: Counterattack

The sky was still black, the sun had not yet risen, but on the silent official road, there were countless figures, these figures were riding on war horses, and there was no sound at all.

On the side of the official road, the general Li Jing was wearing armor, his silver beard was flying, his eyes were like electricity, but there was still a trace of fatigue in his eyes, in the end, he was old, and the general Li Jing couldn't withstand the invasion of the years, Li Jing, who had not rested well for many days, didn't know how much he had paid for today's battle, but he knew that after today, he could sleep well.

"General, we have entered the safe zone, and General Cheng has already arranged for the army to respond." It was Pei Yuanqing who rushed over, he was young and strong, and he did not have any fatigue from the overnight march.

"Jieli Khan and Ashina Simo are both famous generals, he will definitely know that our camp is empty, so they will definitely catch up, remember, the army must not have the slightest chaos, to cause the army to retreat in an orderly manner."

"Why? If this is the case, doesn't Jieli Khan know that we have an ambush? Chen Ziang asked with some hesitation, and Pei Yuanqing also looked at Li Jing with strange eyes, wanting to know the secret.

"Jieli is a sinister and cunning person, he knows that I am strict in governing the army, even in the case of lack of food, and we have withdrawn the army one night in advance, so in terms of time, we still have enough, if this official road is full of footprints, Jieli Khan will think that I deliberately set up a bait to lure him into being fooled, at that time, he will not pursue; But if this is the case, he will be even more convinced that we have no food and grass, and we have to withdraw our troops. After the army has crossed a hundred miles, the speed of action has increased, and there is no need to worry about these things. Hehe, in this way, Jieli believes it even more. Li Jing touched his beard and said.

"Ahh Chen Ziang and Pei Yuanqing's eyes lit up when they heard this, obviously not understanding what Li Jing was thinking.

"Let's go!" Li Jing did not continue, but waved his hand and rushed towards the ambush place, marching and fighting not only relied on his own bravery, but more importantly, his brain, Pei Yuanqing may be very brave, but he wants to understand what is in it. But there is still a long way to go.

Early the next morning, in the place where Li Jing was resting, countless cavalry came, these cavalrymen held scimitars in their hands, and the whole empty camp, and a goat hanging upside down on the drums of war, dragged the Turkic army for a night, and waited until the next morning. Jieli Khan reacted that the army led by Li Jing had already left the camp.

"Khan, this Li Jing won't be tempting us to be fooled! The last general observed along the way and found that Li Jing was retreating. The army walked in an orderly manner, and it did not look like a hasty retreat. Is there fraud in this, maybe Li Jing is luring us into being fooled! Ashnasimo cautiously looked at the weeds around him and found that they were not very messy. Suddenly said with some worry.

"Ashina Simo, do you know Li Jing? You don't understand, but I do. He was a powerful commander, very strict in governing the army, and his prestige in the army was very high, which is why the Tang army lacked food and grass, but still could continue to fight. Li Jing relied on his prestige to control the entire army, even on the way to withdraw the army. Jieli Khan proudly pointed to the official road in the distance and said: "Li Jing was afraid that our withdrawal would be known to us, so on the way to the march, he still maintained strict military discipline, thinking that this would make me believe that their withdrawal was an organized and planned withdrawal." In fact, he wanted to cover up the fact that there was no food and grass in his own army, and to cover up the fact that he was about to lose control of the army. If nothing else, in front of him, he will show his horse's feet, go! ”

Ashina Simo thought about it, and did not continue to ask, but led the army to follow the command of Jieli Khan, and when the army only advanced fifty miles, it was a mess.

Ashina Simo looked at everything in front of him as if he understood something, he looked at Jieli Khan with wide eyes, but Jieli Khan had a smug look on his face, raised his whip and pointed ahead and said, "What do you see?" The grass and fields in front of him were in a mess, and there were signs of the army trampling on the past, and Li Jing's army began to lose order here. ”

"Great Khan, could it be a bait?" Yi Nan's eyes rolled, swept around and said, "Li Jing is cunning, if he sets up an ambush nearby, what should he do?" ”

"No, Li Jing can't control his army here. Yi Nan, if you were a pursuer and you found that the enemy in front of you was retreating in an orderly manner, would you pursue? Jieli Khan looked at Yi Nan and said.

"Don't dare, the enemy's formation is not chaotic, even if it is retreating, it may be an ambush." Yi Nan said without thinking. He is not a fool, the enemy has set up an ambush in front, and he still wants to retreat, then he is really looking for death.

"Yes, if it is fifty miles ahead, the footprints and horseshoe prints in front of us seem to be very orderly, then it means that the other party is deliberately retreating, perhaps, we will pursue, but twenty or thirty miles to find that the traces in front of us are still like this, then we must not dare to pursue, Li Jing undoubtedly knows this, so, fifty miles ahead, barely restraining the army, retreating in an orderly manner, this is to confuse us. But after fifty miles, he could no longer restrain his army, but got out of danger as much as he could. Jieli Khan said proudly: "It's just that he underestimated Ben Khan, and Li Jing, who lost his grain and grass, could only retreat." For a cunning figure like Li Jing, he cannot be compared with an ordinary general, only in this way can we find out what their true intentions are. ”

"The Great Khan is wise." The generals shouted when they heard this.

"Okay, Li Jing's soldiers and horses are ahead, Li Jing at this time would never have thought that his caution not only did not keep his whereabouts, but also revealed his weakness, we can catch up, we can definitely defeat the other party, defeat Li Jing, we can seize the picturesque Central Plains, pursue." Jieli Khan is now very sure of his own inference, he knows when it is best to attack, how can he stay here, he did not hesitate to give the order to attack, as long as Li Jing is eliminated, there is no need to worry about any enemy in front of him.

As the team advanced, the official road in front of them seemed even more chaotic, and even sometimes. Even the military flag was thrown aside, and there were some equipment and so on, and the smile on the face of Jieli Khan was even more.

"This Li Jing really wanted to confuse us in the front, but unfortunately, he didn't expect that we were very bold, so the scope of the pursuit was so wide and deep, so now his essence was finally exposed. Li Jing's army could no longer support it. Jieli Khan laughed and ordered the army to speed up.

Soon. I saw that more and more things were thrown on the road, from flags to clothes, bows and arrows, and so on. Jieli Khan's face is getting better and better, and the more this is the case, the more he can conclude that his inference is correct, even Ashina Simo and the others' faces are getting better and better, and the advance speed of the army is getting faster and faster.

"The enemy is ahead." I don't know who suddenly shouted loudly, and suddenly the army's heart shook, and the war horse galloped faster. Even Jieli Khan saw that in the valley ahead, a cavalry was walking slowly, but soon it galloped, presumably to find the arrival of the Turkic army.

"Kill it. rushed over, and in front of him were the remnants of Lee's soldiers. The Khan of Jieli turned red and commanded the army to charge.

"Great Khan, there is a valley ahead. If the enemy lies in ambush on both sides, we will die without a place to bury. Ashnasimo rushed ahead, and suddenly found the terrain on both sides. Immediately looked panicked, turned the horse's head, and said to Jieli Khan.

"Do you think Li Jing still has the heart to ambush us in this place?" Jieli Khan said disdainfully: "He is now an embarrassed rabbit, we are fierce steppe wolves, we can only attack and attack, and then attack, enter the valley as fast as possible, catch up with Li Jing's rear team, and fight." ”

"Yes." Ashina Simo was about to persuade two sentences, but Yi Nan responded loudly, all these years, the battle with the Tang Dynasty ended in failure, today I finally found an opportunity, he must wash away the shame on his body, so when Jieli Khan gave the order, he did not hesitate to lead the army to rush up.

What Yi Nan didn't know was that at the same time as he was attacking, on the mountains on both sides, Li Jingzheng was leading a large army to be stationed here, waiting for the enemy to enter the valley. Chen Ziang and Xue Orphan were guarding his side.

"General, the enemy has been fooled, no matter what, now we are on the defensive, and the enemy is attacking. The longer we delay, the greater the results we can achieve on the Evil Sun Ridge side. Chen Ziang said with some joy.

"Don't take it lightly, it's a tough fight. Simply so, on the one hand, we ambushed the enemy, and on the other hand, in order to hold the enemy, we still had a great advantage. Li Jing's face was solemn, there were at least more than 200,000 troops in front of him, and in the valley in front of him, he could only kill tens of thousands of people at most, and he would face an attack by nearly 200,000 troops. There is still a lot of pressure.

"Nevertheless, the longer we hold out, the more likely it is that the enemy will be defeated." Chen Ziang said indifferently: "General, although the last general is full of poetry and books, but now it seems that even if he governs the place and is majestic, he is not happy to be a general." ”

"General, the enemy has entered the valley, isn't it time to act?" Xue Orphan said to Li Jing: "General Guo Xiaoke has sent a signal that the enemy's vanguard has entered the valley. ”

"Let's get started! First destroy Jieli's tens of thousands of troops, and then let him gather it. Li Jing nodded, and nodded to Xue Orphan beside him at the moment, and in an instant, on both sides of the official road, the war drums sounded, and the drums roared, shaking the mountains and rivers. On both sides of the official road, countless cavalry appeared in countless instants, stretching their bows and arrows, and countless bows and arrows were overwhelming, covering the official road.

When Jieli Khan heard the sound of war drums on both sides of the official road, he immediately knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered someone to erect a large shield, so he thought of ordering the front team of the army to change into the rear team, and the rear team to change into the front team, and command the army to leave the battlefield.

Then, in front, a huge explosion suddenly sounded, and I saw the mouth of the valley in the distance, thick smoke billowing up, countless rocks rolling, pouring down from the mountain road, and instantly buried the entire mountain road. Even tens of thousands of troops were blocked in the rocks, and the two armies were cut off at once.

"Li Jing." Jieli Khan's eyes widened, at this time, he knew that he had been fooled, and everything he saw just now was deliberately done by Li Jing, in order to let himself be fooled. This Li Jing calculated everything in it, and even calculated Jieli's own character, so he was able to create the trap in front of him.

"Khan, that's Li Jing." With a sharp arrow stuck in his shoulder, Ashina Simo suddenly pointed to the mountainside and said loudly: "This damn Li Jing, he calculated us. The last general will go and kill him. As he spoke, he wanted to rush up the mountainside.

"Stop, the most important thing for us right now is to get out of here." Jieli Khan's heart seemed to have been cut by a knife, thinking how wise and powerful he was, but now he was calculated by Li Jing casually, burying tens of thousands of troops, and more importantly, he didn't know if Li Jing had other calculations. He didn't understand that Li Jing's grain and grass had obviously been consumed, and even in the morning near the granary, he saw a lot of sediment and some rice, which was obviously a sign that the grain and grass were consumed cleanly.

"Protect the Great Khan." Ashnasimo also felt that if he continued to stay here, he would definitely be shot by the arrows, so he immediately led the guards around him to protect Jieli Khan, wrapped in the chaos of the army, and retreated north in a hurry.

"Jieli Khan has run away, the general, and the last general will go after him." Xue Orphan saw that among the chaotic army, there were many soldiers guarding a man in a snow-white coat and rushing towards the north, and he immediately knew that it must be Jieli Khan, and his heart was happy, so he thought about stepping forward to capture it.

"No need, he can't run away, the Turkic army is already in chaos." Li Jing looked at the already chaotic Turkic army at the foot of the mountain, and many people were also running away one after another, and there were fewer and fewer people resisting, because there were more than 100,000 people attacking from the mountain, densely packed, where did these Turkic soldiers still have the mind to resist, they only knew how to escape, where there were others.

"I don't know if General Cheng Biting Jin has succeeded at this time, the Evil Yang Ridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although Jieli Khan has already led the army to leave, but according to his character, he will definitely leave enough soldiers and horses in the Evil Yang Ridge to defend the Evil Yang Ridge." Chen Ziang said in a low voice.

"Whether it's or not, it's enough to kill these people in front of you." Li Jing said very calmly. (To be continued.) )
